Also any comparison to the pro-link.
Which will do the best job of getting low and getting out the hole?

I think on psychobike they said you had to have certian adjustable links for them to work.

Adjustable busa links seem to be the ticket.

The stk links work,but the adj busa links work the best set at about 5-3/4 of lenght center to center, We have the best leave this way just make sure you have the clearance for the fuel pump, bill

The optimum performance and adjustability of your rear suspension is to get an Ohlins or Penske Drag shock made with your weight, bike weight, motor horse power, proper spring and a shorter shock shaft using the OEM dog bones keeping the factory geometry!!!
Setting a bike up this way is a must with a turbo or big motor with nitrous!!!

I was going to go this route and talked to Coby, he said they used Busa links with .75 spacers. I then talked to Terry Mac about them and he said there was some concern with the bike hooking well out of the hole but then breaking the back tire loose. I am not sure if anyone that has them could help out with whether they have had that problem or not.

i don't have the adams straight link, but one made by a guy named Zook on psychobike. i think they are the same. but anyway, i use the stock dogbones with it and it's about like having it in the middle hole of a 3-hole link. the bike is 64". basically it changes the geometry of the suspension to make the shock stiffer. it works very well as an alternative to an expensive aftermarket shock. i needed it because i am a big dude and couldn't get the shock stiff enough. if you have a modified oil pan and sidewinder you can get pretty low, and use the straight link to keep it stiff enough to not bottom out. but if you get too stiff, it will spin.
and yes you will need a lowering link that is adjustable, because the 3-hole links set on the lowest setting will have the other two holes sticking down. with the revised geometry of the straight link, the link will hit the frame.

MUZZYS also has a flat link. It is designed to be used with the MUZZY Dry Sump and aftermarket pans. There are two links available.
